Democrats chartered or fraud?

New posts
My guess would be that WaltonDem is referring to the over 60 illegal contributions that were reported taken by the Democrat Party during the last campaign season. And no, I am not WaltonDem, I have no problem putting my name on things, I would think everyone would know that by now.

Campaign laws are very confusing and from what I have seen easily broken. I guess they are done that way on purpose. I have not looked at the Republican Party reports. I am sure that they are probably not pure either.
 
If it's less than $300, source isn't required, right? I'd like to see Campaign $ Reform based upon the issues, which arose in the last campaign. And, I agree in that there are probably violations from red and blue.
 
To clarify, there weren't scandalous illegal contributions, but some accounting problems caused by honest errors/attempts to simplify by well meaning volunteers.

The party has a new Treasurer and is being very careful to follow both the spirit and the letter of the laws & rules.
 
I was just talking about the Dems.

My knowledge of local Republican campaign finance is limited to Brannon's misdeeds/convictions. :angry:

This statement seems simplistic in nature.

What errors and what simplifications ? Cash contributions are limited to $50.00 - what could be more simple.

There is more to this story !

Who said you were? It is interesting that everyone, including you, automatically assumed that I was talking about you when I made the comment about the real identity of Walton Dem.:lol:
 
IG, yes for local. However, I am all for Campaign Finance Reform at all levels of gov't. Just me, though.
